You can work with your Web pages in any of the following Page views:

Design view    Design and edit Web pages in Design view. This view provides an approximated WYSIWIG authoring experience as you create your Web pages by using the design tools.

Code view   View, write, and edit the HTML tags yourself. With the optimized code features in FrontPage 2003, you can create clean HTML, and it is easier for you to remove any code that you do not want.

Split view    Review and edit Web page content in a split-screen format that offers you simultaneous access to both the Code and Design views.

Preview view    Approximate how the page will look in the Web browser without having to save your page. Use this view to check changes you make as you create your Web page.

Improved graphic support

Working with graphics from other programs is easier than ever. New interfaces clearly explain the default behaviors when you import images into your Web site and what behavior to expect while you edit those images. This gives you more control over how images are displayed and saved.

Multiple-editor configuration

Choose which editor to use for different types of content. For example, if you have a number of GIF format files, some of which are photos and some of which are diagrams, you can edit the photos in Adobe PhotoShop and work with the diagrams in Microsoft Office Visio 2003.

Macromedia Flash support

To enhance and update your FrontPage Web site, you can now add Macromedia Flash content, including movies, repetitive audio-enhanced animations, and previously recorded presentations or courses. You can set options for automatic playback, such as playing a short animation one time when the site visitor first loads the page or looping the content to play continuously.

Behaviors

Behaviors are scripting options that enable you to quickly add interactivity or increased functionality to text or other elements of your Web page. For example, you can add a behavior to an image so that it displays differently when a site visitor moves the pointer over it. You can also view and edit the scripts associated with the current page by viewing a list in the Behaviors task pane.

Interactive Buttons

You can add professional-looking buttons to your Web page by selecting them from a list. After you select a button, add button text, choose the font and button color, define a link, and set the image and text settings for original, hover, and pressed states.

Quick Tag Tools

Use the Quick Tag Selector to quickly select any tag in your Web page. Use the Quick Tag Editor to insert, wrap, and edit HTML tags.

IntelliSense

FrontPage 2003 now provides IntelliSense technology in Code view to reduce errors in code. IntelliSense includes statement completion and shows the parameters available for the code you're writing, just as you would see in Microsoft Visual Studio. IntelliSense is available for HTML, Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), ECMAScript as defined by the specification of the European Computer Manufacturers Association— such as JScript or JavaScript— Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), and ASP.NET.

Typing aids

FrontPage 2003 offers a number of helpful tools to speed up the code-writing process, including word wrap, line numbers, automatic indentation, tag completion, bookmarks, and advanced code selection.

Code snippets

In FrontPage, code snippets are one or more lines of HTML or other code that you can save and use again. You can store blocks of code and insert them in pages from a library of code snippets. Code snippets can contain anything you can insert in Code view— HTML, CSS, and so forth.

ASP.NET controls

ASP.NET is a set of technologies in the Microsoft .NET Framework for developing Web programs and XML Web services. With FrontPage 2003, you can now preview, reposition, and resize ASP.NET controls. IntelliSense support for scripting helps you to hook up, tailor, or even create new ASP.NET intrinsic controls.
